FARMERS Column.
Give fools their gold u knaves their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fail;
Who sows a field or trains flower.
Or plants a tree Is more than all.
Timely and Practical

Those who have, or are about to
plant vineyards, must be interested in
their possible production aud profit,
and hence we give the figures OF an
authority. An acre OF vines, in rows
six feet one way and eight the other,
will give, in round nun aers, niue hun
dred vines per acre. In three years
they will average enough over two,
pounds per vine to yield IA ton OF fruit
per acre, and when in full bearing
may be kept at this distance apart, to
al average crop of ten pounds per vine.
This is nine Thousand pounds, or four
and a half tons. Even at two cents a
pound, this would give $3.50 per acre,
or far more, after deducting expenses
of management and cultivation, than
can be made from ordinary farm crops.
Wood Chopping IN >pring.-Atter
sap begins to fill the trees, says an ex-
pert woodman, they are much more
easily chopped or split than in the
severe cold Of winter, when they are
comparatively dry and hard. 1t may
be we'll enough to leave gnarled and
knotty specimens until they can be cut
most easily; but the wood is not SO
valuable, and takes longer time to
dry out. If beech is cut late in the
season, and left exposed to the wealth
er, it will never thoroughly dry =
Raius will penetrate it as the natural
sap disappears, and it will rot rapidly.
Hence, beech wood should at least be
piled up so as to leave it as little ex-
posed to the rain as possible; and a
better plan still is to dry it under a
shed, where rain cannot reach it, but
where there will be free circulation of
air to carry off the surplus moisture.
Farming IN New England.-The
West has grand market for its agri-
cultural products in New England,
but it would be mistake to suppose
that farming is not profitable in that
section. The manufacturing towns
have saved New England farmers from
fatal competition. The Hartford
Courant quotes from the census that
the value of farm land in Connecticut
per acre is shown to be three times
that in California, nearly five times
that in Kansas, ,aud half as much again
as that in Indiana and Illinois, In
1880 the farms In the six New Eng
land States were valued at $3.50, 721,-
33S, an increase OF S1O4, 100000 round
numbers, since the previous census.

lime may be retarded By the applica
z tion Of litter, or even snow upon the
frozen ground, under the trees, in mid
winter. Plum growers along the Bal
tic Sea, in Northern Germany, often
secure crop of plums by the same
means, when late frosts, otherwise,
would have ruined it.
Nirate of Soda as a Fertilizer.-In
reply to numerous inquiries Orchard
and Garden states that nitrate of soda
is especially valuable for the very earl
lest garden crops, and on soils which
have been heavily manured in previ-
GUS years. 1t has somewhat the ap-
pearance of salt, and is readily soluble,
costing about $50 ton, or from three
to four cents per pound in smaller
quantities AS the article in generally
coarse and lumpy, it ought to be broken
up fne-on the barn floor, for instance
before being applied. All gardeners
are advised to try it for early crops,
broadcasting it over the land at the
rate of several hundred pounds to the
acre. You will be surprised at the
result.
iStraw5erry CutiUation.-1n a re-
cent article on this subject, Mrs. a. 5.
Fuller, the author of practical work
on the Strawberry, says that different
varieties often require diff rent mode
of culture in order to obtain the larg-
est yield and the largest berries. The
large, coarse growing varieties of the
Chill species, or the hybrids between
these and the Virginia Strawberry,
succeed best when grown in hills or
single rows, and they are usually quite
unproductive if the plants are per-
mitted to run together and become in
the least crowded; while others will
yield we'll, either in narrow rows or
wide beds, and where the plants be-
come matted. This hint may prove
suggestive to those about planting g
Strawberries.
Feeding Young Pigs.-A floating
item declares that the general treat
ment of pigs seems to be based upon
the idea that they are naturally greedy
and gluttonous animals, and that this
habit should be encouraged as much
as possible. Hence all the diseases
which so frequently affect pigs. When
young pig is tender animal his
stomach is not much larger than that
of human infant the same age, ant
and yet reople will cram the little
creature with sour slop, grease, milk
and corn meal until it can swallow M
more, and when the pigs is sick ont
wonders what is the matter.
Fertilizers not iTimuzants.-Here il
suggestive contribution to the dis
cussion on fertilizers The Nev Eng
land Farmer contends that fertilizer
are no more stimulating to plants than
is cows milk to the born cal
that sucks it. Fertilizers are simpl.
plant food, and if properly made the.
are SO prepared that plants can maxi
them Immediately available as food
A tablespoonful of concentrated ferti
lizer spriukIed into the earth where
hill of corn is to be grown, is simpl,
material for feeding the young corr
plants in their earliest stages of growth
before the roots have reached out ant
filled every inch of soil for space 0
three or four feet square. The tern
"stimulant" should be banished from
the vocabulary of the teacher of ferti
izer philosophy. = New York Lnde

Silk manufacture is becoming an
industry of growing importance in
the United States. The most i'm
proved machinery for winding silk
from the cocoon has recently been set
up in Washington. Great demands
for silkworm eggs are made, and the
bulletine of the Department of Agri-
culture has already run through eight
editions. Several publications of the
same kind have also been issued in
this State. There are at this time
3S5 silk factories in the United States
with 10000 employees and upward oI
$25, 100000 of capital, using annually
$2,00O,000 worth of raw material ot
foreign production. There is good
reason to believe that the silk indus
try will soon become one of the lead
ing industries of the country.

WooD RIVER TIMES: A big strike
is reported in the Tom Thumb mine,
Lava district. The ore is a carbonate,
and said to be as free-smelting as was
ever seen in Haley. The frst-class
goes 100 OF. in silver and IS per cent.
in leaed per ton; the second-class goes
1875 OF. in silver and 40 per cent. lead.
The vein is said to be ~ feet wide,
The mine is owned by DIR. Mckay
and Messrs. Brown and Cedarholm, OF
this city. When DR.. Mckay heard OF
the strike, few days ago, he was SO
excited that he insisted OIL going there
although very i'll. As he was unable
to ride horseback, they put good
mattress in wagon and took him Out
there. He is expected back in day
or two, when further details of the
strike will be obtained.
